    [ES] El proyecto describe a través de un breve documental y una serie de diez cuadros el antes y el después del sector vitivinícola en la zona de La Mancha, concretamente en el pueblo de Tomelloso (Ciudad Real). Con ello se muestra lo que todavía perdura de la tradición contrastado con los grandes cambios técnicos que se acusan hasta el presente. De esos diez cuadros, se dividen dos bloques de cinco cada uno, el primero, pinturas de fotografías en blanco y negro de los años 40 comparadas con otras del 2018. El material audiovisual al igual que cada pareja de obras pictóricas, guardan un tema entre los que encontramos: (I) la cuadrilla (cómo la mano de obra pasa de ser familiar a jornaleros de otras zonas de España o inmigrantes en su mayoría) ; (II) logística y transporte de la materia prima (la fuerza de trabajo animal y manual es sustituida por tractores o máquinas cosechadoras); (III) el papel de la mujer en el campo (las terreras que trabajaban codo con codo con los hombres para cavar las bodegas y que en la actualidad se ha visto sustituido por mano de obra masculina en su mayoría); (IV) los avances tecnológicos (grandes macrocooperativas de gran especialización tecnológica); y (V) el folclore. Todo esto enfatizado con referencias a importantes personajes como el pintor Antonio López Torres, tío y mentor de Antonio López García, introduciéndolo en alguna escena o tomando los puntos de vista que utilizaba este personaje en su producción artística al aire libre.[EN] This project describes through a short documentary and a series of ten pictures taken from photographical references from family and relatives, the changes throughout time within the wine sector in La Mancha, specifically, the town of Tomelloso (Ciudad Real). This work shows that some of the traditions pervail despite the current great technical changes. These ten paintings are divided in two blocks of five pictures. On the first block, we can find black and white pictures inspired in 1940s photographs compared with current snapshots from 2018. The audiovisual material together with each pair of pictorial works have a particular theme, where we can find: (I) the cuadrilla, (how family labor disappears in favour of migrants from other regions of Spain or immigrants); (II) logistics and transportation of raw material (manual and animal workforce replaced by tractors and harvesters); (III) the role of women in fields and vineyards (las terreras, women that worked elbow-to-elbow with men to dig wine cellars. Nowadays these traditions has been replaced by a majority of male workforce); (IV) technological advances (great cooperatives with a high level of specialization); or (V) cultural traditions. All this highlighted by reference to cultural celebrities such as painter Antonio López Torres (Antonio López García¿s uncle and mentor), by introducing him in some scenes or capturing the artist point of view on his outdoors artistic production.Gutiérrez Ortiz, T.

    Presentamos un recorrido por el arte africano y más concretamente por el arte fang. Se trata de un arte que se relaciona íntimamente con España ya que es en Guinea Ecuatorial donde se localizaban nuestras colonias. Aparte no debemos olvidar el peso que tiene este arte con el nacimiento de las Vanguardias y el primitivismo. Para comprender el arte fang debemos conocer las generalidades del arte africano, pues no es más que un reflejo de lo que encontramos en cualquiera de las tribus que componen el continente. Dentro del arte fang debemos mencionar sus características propias, su especial culto a los antepasados y sus manifestaciones artísticas tanto la estatuaría con los bierí, con sus diferentes estilos según la zona que, como sus máscaras, relacionadas con ritos, ceremonias y sociedades secretas, puesto que cada sociedad presenta unas máscaras diferentes

    A political ecology of green territorialization: frontier expansion and conservation in the Colombian Amazon

    Get PDF
    After decades of civil war, the Colombian government has recently declared the Amazon as a model region for green growth and low carbon development. The Amazon Vision programme, launched by the Colombian government in 2016, seeks to contribute to forest conservation, climate mitigation, poverty reduction and peace building. The Amazon Vision fundamentally reframes the Colombian Amazon from a ‘narco frontier’ that needs to be liberated from guerrilla influence, organized crime and peasants destroying forests for coca cultivation, to a net CO2 sink with enormous potential for green growth and poverty reduction. Drawing on historical and empirical qualitative research in Guaviare and complemented by a quantitative land cover classification, this article builds on the concept of ‘green territoriality’ to investigate the extent to which the shift towards conservation affects property rights and the ability of indigenous groups and peasants to access land and natural resources. We illustrate how the reframing of peasants from protagonists of development and frontier expansion to villains, and of indigenous communities from underdeveloped forest dwellers to environmental guardians, has created land conflicts and affected the legitimacy of their respective property rights. In both cases, the Amazon Vision strengthens conservation policies and challenges existing land rights but also creates new windows of opportunity for the land claims of indigenous communities while reinforcing conceptualizations of social differentiation among dwellers of the Amazon

    La baja cobertura en los índices globales más importantes, como Web of Science (WOS) y Scopus, de la investigación en español de las Ciencias Sociales y las Humanidades (CSyH) obligan, a quienes analizan las citas que se hacen a la producción académica de sus comunidades, a explorar alternativas para recopilar datos de mayor alcance, confiables y validados. En este documento se describe un método que emplea Google Académico (GA) como principal fuente de información para el análisis de citación de los artículos publicados en revistas arbitradas por la planta académica de El Colegio de México entre los años 2012-2020. A partir de una base de datos compilada y validada desde 2016, por personal académico de la Biblioteca «Daniel Cosío Villegas», se ofrece evidencia sobre el alcance de GA para el análisis de citación, destacando sus ventajas y limitaciones. Se describe el proceso de acopio, análisis e interpretación de los datos, el cual se realiza exclusivamente con software gratuito y de libre acceso (Google Drive, Zotero, R y GA). Con esto nos proponemos compartir un método que pueda ser replicado en contextos similares.Ibero-American Science and Technology Education Consortiu

    ClinPrior: an algorithm for diagnosis and novel gene discovery by network-based prioritization

    BackgroundWhole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) have become indispensable tools to solve rare Mendelian genetic conditions. Nevertheless, there is still an urgent need for sensitive, fast algorithms to maximise WES/WGS diagnostic yield in rare disease patients. Most tools devoted to this aim take advantage of patient phenotype information for prioritization of genomic data, although are often limited by incomplete gene-phenotype knowledge stored in biomedical databases and a lack of proper benchmarking on real-world patient cohorts.MethodsWe developed ClinPrior, a novel method for the analysis of WES/WGS data that ranks candidate causal variants based on the patient's standardized phenotypic features (in Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms). The algorithm propagates the data through an interactome network-based prioritization approach. This algorithm was thoroughly benchmarked using a synthetic patient cohort and was subsequently tested on a heterogeneous prospective, real-world series of 135 families affected by hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and/or cerebellar ataxia (CA).ResultsClinPrior successfully identified causative variants achieving a final positive diagnostic yield of 70% in our real-world cohort. This includes 10 novel candidate genes not previously associated with disease, 7 of which were functionally validated within this project. We used the knowledge generated by ClinPrior to create a specific interactome for HSP/CA disorders thus enabling future diagnoses as well as the discovery of novel disease genes.ConclusionsClinPrior is an algorithm that uses standardized phenotype information and interactome data to improve clinical genomic diagnosis. It helps in identifying atypical cases and efficiently predicts novel disease-causing genes. This leads to increasing diagnostic yield, shortening of the diagnostic Odysseys and advancing our understanding of human illnesses

    [Purpose]: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. [Methods]: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015.Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years,65 to 80 years,and ≥ 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. [Results]: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 ≥ 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients ≥80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%,65 years; 20.5%,65-79 years; 31.3%,≥80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%,<65 years;30.1%,65-79 years;34.7%,≥80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%,≥80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age ≥ 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI ≥ 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88),and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared,the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. [Conclusion]: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age ≥ 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI),and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group

    This study was funded by the Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias ISCIII (Grant Numbers PI15/00276, PI15/00572, PI15/00996), REDISSEC (Project Numbers RD12/0001/0012, RD16/0001/0005), and the European Regional Development Fund ("A way to build Europe").Background: Multimorbidity is associated with negative effects both on people's health and on healthcare systems. A key problem linked to multimorbidity is polypharmacy, which in turn is associated with increased risk of partly preventable adverse effects, including mortality. The Ariadne principles describe a model of care based on a thorough assessment of diseases, treatments (and potential interactions), clinical status, context and preferences of patients with multimorbidity, with the aim of prioritizing and sharing realistic treatment goals that guide an individualized management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention that implements the Ariadne principles in a population of young-old patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The intervention seeks to improve the appropriateness of prescribing in primary care (PC), as measured by the medication appropriateness index (MAI) score at 6 and 12months, as compared with usual care. Methods/Design: Design:pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. Unit of randomization: family physician (FP). Unit of analysis: patient. Scope: PC health centres in three autonomous communities: Aragon, Madrid, and Andalusia (Spain). Population: patients aged 65-74years with multimorbidity (≥3 chronic diseases) and polypharmacy (≥5 drugs prescribed in ≥3months). Sample size: n=400 (200 per study arm). Intervention: complex intervention based on the implementation of the Ariadne principles with two components: (1) FP training and (2) FP-patient interview. Outcomes: MAI score, health services use, quality of life (Euroqol 5D-5L), pharmacotherapy and adherence to treatment (Morisky-Green, Haynes-Sackett), and clinical and socio-demographic variables. Statistical analysis: primary outcome is the difference in MAI score between T0 and T1 and corresponding 95% confidence interval. Adjustment for confounding factors will be performed by multilevel analysis. All analyses will be carried out in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: It is essential to provide evidence concerning interventions on PC patients with polypharmacy and multimorbidity, conducted in the context of routine clinical practice, and involving young-old patients with significant potential for preventing negative health outcomes.
